This is where you have lots of fun when you aren't paying attention. The Cristiani was supposed to be sweet vermouth, I grabbed the wrong bottle by mistake.

Result: I like it !! Plenty of cherry-eeee with that spritz of orange-y trying to sneak through !!!!

Souls of the Mountain

1 oz Cognac
1 oz Mezcal
1⁄2 oz Amaro Meletti
1⁄2 oz Bénédictine
2 ds Bitters, Bittermens Xocolatl Mole
2 ds Absinthe (I used 12 drops)
Instructions

Stir with ice and strain into an old fashioned glass with ice.

History

After writing up the Anyone's Shadow for the blog, I decided to riff on the recipe by extracting the Meletti-Benedictine element and replacing the rye-Jamaican rum for the Cognac-mezcal duo from the 1910 Cocktail. I dubbed this one the Souls of the Mountain after a 1938 painting by surrealist Remedios Varo to keep with the 1910's Mexican theme.

History

My pal Mike G. and I were talking about the (reference) Smooth Landin' cocktail but he's not a huge fan of Creme de Violette. So he says, "Maraschino Liqueur" instead of the Violette. And here we are.

Shawn C commented on 7/01/2025:

Curated to list Mahia by Nahmias et Fils as a brand and change ingredient above from "fig" to fig liqueur. Fig liqueur was already listed as an ingredient but with the same specs as a creme de figue (low proof, sweet.) I have modified the listing for fig liqueur to be 80 proof, only moderately sweet, and including some herbal.

Shawn C commented on 7/01/2025:

The cocktail itself is brilliant. I used my own pomegranate grenadine syrup (had some particularly dark and intense aryls for this batch) and a fresh lime off the tree. The pomegranate was a great pairing with the fig which can be a bit intense if not properly mated. The Strega provides some slight mint/alpine herbal and bolsters the anise in the Mahia. The bitters provide a slight chili heat to the finish.
